      And it did :

      1. Bran’s Purpose: Bran utilizes his powers as the Three-Eyed Raven more effectively, revealing crucial historical and future events. Instead of becoming king, he serves as the realm’s chief advisor, preserving history and ensuring the kingdom doesn’t repeat past mistakes.

      2. Jon & Daenerys: Daenerys’ descent into madness is slowed and more nuanced. She and Jon rule jointly for a time, focusing on uniting the kingdom and breaking the wheel. When it becomes clear that Daenerys can’t escape her Targaryen instincts, a heartbroken Jon is forced to intervene. Instead of exile, Jon chooses to travel north to explore and possibly unite lands beyond the Wall.

      3. Sansa & Arya: Sansa is crowned Queen in the North, leading with wisdom and strength. Arya’s adventures in the west are chronicled in a series of notes she sends back to Sansa, creating a connection between the Stark sisters and hinting at a larger world.

      4. Tyrion & Jaime: Tyrion remains as Hand, but to a council of leaders instead of one ruler, guiding the Seven Kingdoms with his wit and intelligence. Jaime’s redemption arc culminates in him leaving Cersei and joining Brienne, training the next generation of knights.

      5. Cersei: Cersei’s cunning leads her to form unexpected alliances, perhaps with the likes of Dorne, to try and reclaim the throne. Her end comes not from falling rubble, but in a more poetic fashion: perhaps poisoned, paralleling her own actions throughout the series.

      6. The Night King: The threat from the Night King is even more dire. Westeros needs to truly unite, with every faction playing a part, to fend off the undead threat. This culminates in a series of battles, not just one at Winterfell. The Night King’s origin and motives are better explained, tying into the history of Westeros and the Children of the Forest.

      7. Iron Throne: In the end, the Iron Throne is melted down as a symbol of the old era. Westeros adopts a council-based rule where representatives from each kingdom have a say, embodying Daenerys’ vision of “breaking the wheel.”
